This is a breaking news situation.
A man entered a courtroom in the Fulton County Courthouse this morning and shot a Fulton County Sheriff's deputy, a clerk and a judge; there are reports from both WSB and WAGA, the judge is deceased.
The perp has carjacked multiple vehicles -- now on his third -- and is still at large.
I've just come from downtown Atlanta, and the city is a madhouse.
Any update on where he is? I need to go run some errands.
(pssst...maybe he's confusing him with Neil Cavuto?)
"Off topic question..I heard Rush talking about a Howard Fineman article..couldn't find it..is there a link?"
I just tuned in to his show a few minutes ago. We're 1 hour tape delayed here in Dallas.
Here is a Google on that:

It appears he writes for PMSNBC / Newsweek.
I didn't see this posted, but the rape victim has been taken into protective police custody.
This guy is a UNIX administrator at UPS in Alpharetta !
Thanks for all the photos.
This stuff has to end, I'm so sick of seeing innocent people being murdered, beaten and terrorized. Much of the lawlessness is the result of Liberals, groups like the ACLU etc. tying the hands of law enforcement, and the erosion of commen sense.
And this judge was the one who ordered a woman to be sterlized - doesn't sound very liberal to me.
The perp??
Yes I heard that too. Nancy also said he has a "very beautiful daughter".
So again...let's take a moment from all this to offer up prayers for the family members of the judge and the other victims of this horrible tragedy.
Chances are he's going to be in a rig like Hannibal.
Yeah, the suspect is employed as a UNIX administrator at UPS in Alpharetta according to Fox-5 in Atlanta. That is right down the street from me.
Isn't she on RENO 911?
I haven't heard anything for awhile.
Yea, when I think of heroes I think of our Atlanta reporters </sarcasm off>
During the Ray Lewis murder trial the Atlanta and Baltimore media painted it as a racist set-up. The victims were black, the witnesses were black, the lawyers were black, the Atlanta Sheriff was black and the Atlanta Mayor was black. Lewis got off. How long before Nichols cries racism? In Atlanta, just wait a few minutes longer.
Wow! I guess from the nature of the crime he was accused of I just figured he'd be an unemployed crack head or something.
Who cares if the judge was liberal or conservative. He sounds like he was a great guy. Sad that people want to even know whether he was a lib or a conservative at a time like this.
Yeah, watch out for those UNIX administrators. Maybe the pro-Windows guys are right.
Speaking of Hannibal, it seems we just learned the perp is some computer techie. Not your average, run of the mill dumb criminal. Maybe he had all this planned out, especially since he did try earlier to sneak a weapon into the courtroom.
Nichols?
It was the DA that recommended that the woman be sterilized AND the defense lawyer agreed. The judge did not propose it, but he finalized it.
